Smells Like...

It's another Friday and it's payday and I caved and bought a new laptop.  I know, I thought I was stronger than that too but I have to admit that I've been a little bored during the miniscule evenings that I got to enjoy this week, after work and before bed.

It was the cheapest on offer, it's a little clunky but it does all the things that I need it to do and I love it very much for keeping me company for the next approximately five years.

Needless to say, I'm now on a pretty tighter-er budget for the next month, but I can do that.  What I couldn't do, was go a moment longer without a hair cut.  After telling Steph that she was right last time and I did need more layers, I think she went layer mad this time, I'm a little panicked but I'll be able to tell tomorrow, after I've washed and dried it myself.

What did I do this week?  I did a headstand, I know, it's been on my 'to-do' list since I made my New Year's resolutions and I did a side plank thingy, you know where you balance on your forearm and the side of your foot and lift the rest of your body up?  Well I did that and I did, I think they're called side scissors, got them from Autumn Calebrese, and I keep having her words, 'you can do anything for 60 seconds' ringing in my ears as I do them.  I tell you, they work like a dream and they're not that hard.

Change of subject and last weekend, someone told me that I need to find someone, so that I don't end up alone and lonely. I have to say, it was like being stabbed, well I can only imagine but you can appreciate the magnitude. Long story, I was told that I needed single friends if I was to even stand a chance of finding someone of my own. I am acutely aware that I may end up lonely and alone but what do you do? As far as the friend thing goes, this may be really old fashioned, but I believe that the friends you are meant to have in your life, find themselves in your life, whether they want to be or not. I can't imagine going friend hunting for the single variety or for the married/attached version of such. I would just never go hunting for 'friends', friends find you. I've spent the last week a little deflated, pondering my potential aloneness and solitude. Will I... when do I get a cat? How long will I have been dead before the smell tips off the neighbours? You get my drift. There is much to ponder. What do I do next?
